Pairings: B/V, Gh/Videl, G/CC

I will be keeping Goku's saiyan name as part of the story since his birth name is Kakkarot. Not too sure if that's the correct spelling or not but oh well.

What happens when you mix saiyans and humans? A mess. This is an AU fic where Vegetasei was never destroyed by Frieza, Goku remained on his homeworld, and Chichi is a saiyan. That makes Gohan a full blood instead of a demi. Bulma and Videl are still humans. Sorry to Goten fans but for a while he won't be in the fic. I'll try to insert him later.

Shooting Stars

Bulma was at the railing once again that night looking at the clear night sky. She was very tired, but like always, could not sleep at all. She looks towards the red planet in the distance and notices several streaks of light leave the area around it. Two of them were separate while several others followed them. Not too long afterwards, she notices the streaks head back towards the red planet. "Ok, thats just plain weird. Maybe they were following someone though. Oh well, not my problem anyways."

She walks downstairs to her lab and works on her latest inventions for a couple hours. Time seemed to be of no importance to her at the moment and before too long, sunrise was approaching. The lab had no windows, so she was completely unaware of the time until a couple of the lab technicians entered to begin their day of work. She glances at the clock surprised and almost falls out of her seat. "6am already? Good grief. I guess time really does fly when you're having fun." She gets up and stretches, saves her work, shuts down the computer, then goes upstairs for some breakfast. Her mom was already in there cooking so she just takes a seat nearby and waits quietly.

Her mother had noticed her enter the room already so she sets some coffee down near her. "Interesting night for shooting stars wasn't it dear?" She giggles a bit knowing full well that Bulma had seen the same things she had seen. Bulma just nods a moment and sips the coffee. "Ya it was. The ones in back seemed to be following the other two though, almost like the first two had escaped from them. They gave up pretty quick though, maybe too quick.
I have to wonder if those two are heading this way or if they're going somewhere else."

Her mother just shrugs a moment. "Hard to say dear, but if they are heading this way, then maybe we should be there to greet them when they arrive. Your father calculated their speed. If they keep going at that rate of speed, they will be here within a week. That should give us enough time to think of something to say to them. Whatever your choice though dear, no pressure on you. If you decide to go with them however, we might have to sell CC to a different company. Without you here, there wouldn't be anyone left to run the business should anything happen to your father or me. Maybe we should make plans of that sort just in case something like at does happen."

"Ya mom, I agree. The Starlight Villa is the only company that could even remotely understand what we do here. If we have to sell, maybe it could be to them. I'm sure dad would agree to that as well. We don't want anyone else getting their hands on CC, especially not independant people like Hercule Satan. He could ruin this business entirely. We don't need to have someone give Capsule Corp a bad name. I'll talk to the guys personally over the next couple days and see what they say. I should have an answer within 2 days at the most, I hope. That will also give us time to alert the press about what we plan to do should the need arise to sell. I'll talk to dad about attending the meeting with me so that he knows what all to expect as well. I just get this weird feeling that it will be up to him and you to decide the fate of Capsule Corp and not me. Seems destiny has chosen my path already, and I fear it's not here on Earth."

"I know dear. I too will try to attend the meeting so I know as well. Your dad will want to write down all the things that will need to be done to get this place ready for selling." She hands Bulma her breakast and gets ready to walk out of the kitchen. "One more thing. Your dad found out the name of that red planet. It's called Vegetasei." With that said, she walks out of the kitchen leaving Bulma to think about the name in her mind. Vegetasei huh? Sounds so mysterious and dangerous. Sounds like I'll still be living life in the fast lane after all, just not here on Earth. My life has become someone else's to lead, not my own. Kami, where are you sending me now? My life here is a mess. Maybe someone can help correct this mess in my life and bring some order and sense to it all. I have always lived the life of a princess, just without the title. Is my Prince on his way? I certainly hope you know what you're doing Kami.
